I like the idea of a camera. I have gotten some pictures of him with the children at his old orphanage, which I plan to add to the album I am making for him. I think I will leave this album with him. I will order another like it in case it gets lost. I think asking the caretakers will be a great idea. Since this is not really an orphanage, at least not only, it's more of a home for the disabled, there may be specialty things that they need that are harder to get in Poland that they need. He will have been in his new home a little over a month when we visit. I will bring flowers for the two adults in his home and maybe for whomever runs the place? And chocolates for the other members of his house. It's a pretty big place, they even have adult housing for disabled adults and thier spouses and children. I am guessing that perhaps the rest of Poland is not as accesable and welcoming of the disabled so many choose to stay when they reach adulthood, there was even a very sweet picture of a wedding, in which both bride and groom and all the attendants were disabled. I think it will be a pleasure to donate something needed to this place. I think my daughter is thinking of getting him a teddy bear, my son's perhaps cars or other toys. In his new home he shares a room with only one other child, so he may have room to keep three small toys from his new siblings.
